APG stocks the TSP014, an AS568-014 white PTFE (Teflon) 55 Shore D Back-Up Ring supplied with an inside diameter of 0.489 in (12.42 mm), a cross section of 0.07 in (1.78 mm), and an outside diameter of 0.629 in (15.98 mm). A back-up ring extends o-ring service life by supporting the seal against extrusion under high pressure.
As a material, PTFE (Teflon) is widely chosen for non-stick, non-contaminating surface characteristics and one of the lowest coefficients of friction of any solid. This material stands up to steam, nearly all industrial chemicals, and solvents. The material carries a published service range of -65°F (-53.9°C) to 500°F (260°C). Verify compatibility before use with service requiring elastic recovery or elemental fluorine at temperature.
Maintenance and OEM teams specify it across chemical processing, pharmaceutical and biotech, and laboratory equipment.
Stocked as TSP014 and sold individually. Nominal inside diameter is listed as 1/2 inch. Application requirements vary, so validate compatibility with your process conditions prior to installation. If you need a size, durometer or compound that is not listed, APG can cross-reference from a print, a sample or a competitor part number.
